It now appears that a team with a real possibility of getting promotion is being put together. Now we need us, the Supporters, to get behind the team. I am not yet excited, but at least it is now worth the cost of coming up from Kernow...........
Please stop with that. How deluded are we? We've got 15 players. The only time we have a possibility of anything of the sort is if we are 20 points clear in February.

Excellent signing at this level. People on here were asking for big names and let's all be honest, we could not have expected any bigger names than Monkhouse and Mansell. Fair play to DC and NH I say. Are you predicting promotion then ? Let's not get carried away Mark. Let's see how we look against the Mariners.

On paper a good addition and look forward to seeing "Monkey" play. Happy to see him here, and even a little excited.....at last. However, the crux of success does not lay at the new appointments door. We have had plenty of "Good Players" sign in recent seasons, players many of us thought would enhance our squads. For some reason most have moved on without living up to our hopes. You can change the brickwork as many times as you want, but if the foundations aren't well planned and are poorly constituted the building will keep collapsing. We need a harsh and honest survey completed before anything. A good builder will tell you that ;-) UTG

Fair play to DC and NH I say. Yep, well done NH for allowed DC to sign a few freebies after all the players that have been let go and half a million from Lambert. Hats off to you. I think Clarke deserves praise though as he seems to be making some decent enough signings on limited resources. "Freebie" yes, but will command a decent wage I would think and probably cheaper than the likes of Ronaldo etc that some on here expect us to sign!

Not a player I expected to be in the Conference this season, so feels like a bit of a coup to me that we got him. Most Hartlepool fans seem very complimentary of him, and he sounds as if he'll add the creativity and goals to our midfield that didn't seem to be there before his signing. Experienced, versatile, tall, creative, scores goals. Apart from last season when he only played 17 games, he's played 30/40+ in the 5 seasons before that. Wiki is lying about him only playing 17 games in 2013/14. According to Soccerbase... 2013-14 - 41 appearances, 6 goals 2012-13 - 36 appearances, 7 goals 2011-12 - 48 appearances, 3 goals 2010-11 - 53 appearances, 8 goals Very nice to have a player who will (hopefully) put in 40 odd games this season, we need players like that if we're to succeed with a squad of our size. Link - www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=15107Good spot. Even better then! Positive about this signing, 3/4 more and we'll be looking decent.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Monkhouse one of the first rumours of the summer, can't remember where I read it though.

Im glad the squads getting better but on paper its very hard to know if this will be a good team.
Will Mansell rediscover the form he lost at Torquay?, will White stay fit and shed the pounds? Will Taylor bang them in like when on loan or struggle like at Forest Green ? Will Brunt break down ? Will Smudger go ? Will Gosling make it at this level ?
Lots still to discover before we know how it will unfold. Pleased with todays signing.
